Subject: Prefacing the Preface ~"By Indirection, find directions out"
Unintelligible without reading Stephen Burt's informative Introduction. A complicated subject, Rhetoric. Jarrell got it "Wrong" but in being wrong exposed the tenets of an argument we would all be the worse for being denied, so, a complex read only really possible after studying Auden carefully, and after gaining some appreciation of/for Personification (Anthropomorphism) which is under fire in these five (brief) lectures Jarrell delivered at Princeton in the hmm 50s or 60s (I forget). "By indirections, find directions out."
